NOWER WOOD FIELD STUDY Aim Our aim was to study two different areas of woodland that have been cut down at different times, and to study the diversity and the abundance in the ground plants in each of them. The two coppices are close to each other. The two coppices are 7(young) and 30(old) years old. Our main aim here is to check the diversity and abundance between the 2 coppices, plus comparing the species. Hypothesis I think that there will be more bio-diversity in the young coppice. I think this because the old coppice will have had more time to develop, and there will be a developed canopy, which will let through only enough light for the shade tolerant plants. The young coppice, however, will have a spotted canopy, and a much larger variation of plant life, as the light amounts from place to place will vary. Factors affecting Abundance/Diversity There are a many factors...
